fishworm Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help me. On Tuesday night I had my rear windscreen smashed (sad face) and yesterday someone came out to fix it. That's all done now, no problem there. However my boyfriend thinks that there is a part missing where the wiper connects to the car. He thinks there should be some sort of covering over the metal. I think that makes sense that there should be, but I can't remember whether there was one there before the guy fixed the windscreen or not. He asked the guy at the time and he just said no so I left it. I've done some googling and found a few photos but I can't really tell whether there's anything there or not. The best I found was this: http://0.tqn.com/d/cars/1/0/S/B/2/ag_11fiesta_hatchrear.JPG which looks to me like there should be something black covering the metal. Is that right? I was wondering whether anybody here would be able to take a close up picture of their rear wiper where it connects to the car, so I can compare to what my car looks like at the moment? I have a Fiesta 2010 plate but I suppose any 2008+ model would look the same. If there is some covering missing, what should I do? Is it simple to buy and attach it myself? Is it a problem that it's missing - I'm thinking rust might be an issue? Any thought would be great Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePaine Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Nope. Not missing. Was never there :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peange Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 It should look like this: There a wee plastic bit that covers the nut that secures it to the car. (RHS of the photo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
